Hello GLASSIES, its been awhile and while maybe I should apologize, but life is so busy for me.. My Son is living with us now, he is in the last stages I believe with COPD.. Doc says he only has 17% lung capacity left. Woe is me.. He still tries to be active, but he gets very tired easily. He has a couple of guys working for him, he has the brains/Know How, and they have the brawn.. So it works out well and he keeps getting work, They just redid someones bathroom, now they are replacing wood siding on a Barn.. He can hardly get home to get onto his Oxygen mach.. DH has COPD also, and he is not as bad as My Son is, but with two of them, they cannot do much physical stuff. And I am getting tired.. LOL
I have been busy going to Maryland to see my friend who moved back last year from Texas, they are waiting to get into a Senior Independant Living place in Pa. called the Keys.. Good grief, thankfully the sale of their home in Texas allows for them to pay their way. Which will be the home for the rest of their lives.. It will graduate to Assisted if need be. Long drive, it takes me about 7 hours to drive where they are at in Md. Near Upper Baltimore.
I am doing fine, Thankfully.
JIM L.. Funny as close as we live, We never heard about that fella going over the falls.. Our news here is not like it use to be, and I guess it wasn't newsworthy enough to be on the World news.. We watch David on ABC news every night.. I am not an ABC fan, but I like David.. How you coming with getting the glass all done.. I am surprised you have that much out.. I thought it all packed away.. 😉 You seem to be pretty active now.. No more problems with Knees or Leg? Knock on wood..
GEORGE are you still being treated for your Eyes, I hate to think of it; but Shots do not seem very fun to me.. Thank God for someone finding a treatment for what you have.. Better then going blind for sure.. My friend in Md. is Blind in one eye, and faint vision in the other one, So she gets frustrated.. While visiting them, I was her eyes and got all her tax info papers prepared for her and sent them off to her Tax guy who lives in Texas.. Wishing you continued good health..
CARL, Our Strawberries were late as well.. Of course with so much rain, the first of the crop were very bland, no taste at all they were water logged.. We just got another batch yesterday and they were more like Strawberries, very sweet.. Due to it being dry the last week or so.. How much were your Strawberries, ours are 4.95 a Quart, so I just give them 5.00, I guess they do not charge taxes.
JULIE Not sure if your Back, but how nice to get away from Winter for awhile and vacation in the islands with the family.. Did they enjoy it. I can only imagine.. Do they have Shark infested waters there? Know you had a wonderful time..
NANCY, Wow, how awful So when do you get a chance to go away again? I hope the next trip pans out for you.. My Grand Daughter and her husband were on that flight that lost an Engine and had to land early.. She was pretty upset by that, They were on their way home on Leave.. She said they offered them a 30.00 voucher for a meal, to make up for it.. She was not happy with that either, especially since they do not like flying. Quite a Scare.. Good luck with getting your folks things taken care of.. How do you squeeze 2 homes worth into One.. My friends in Md. are still living out of boxes, due to their new Cottage not being ready until mid Aug.. Wow those senior living places are High Rise prices.. I was shocked.. I could never afford it.. Well maybe when we sell our house..
HI FRAN, So nice that you could furnish a cake for Julie.. I hardly ever bake anymore.. I suppose your all settled with your folks place, and now life is going smoothly? 😉 Well we can only hope..
Son is coming in from Ga. tomorrow, and much to do here, so I best get a move on.. You all take care.. and a BIG HELLO to any lurkers..
